A tender, nostalgic reunion story about two men reconnecting after a formative teenage encounter, exploring second chances and unresolved feelings.

A popular high school hunk Johnny takes a late-night dip with cute loner Ben. Fifteen years later, these two men — who haven’t seen each other since a late-night tryst in high school — bump into each other unexpectedly.
